PRAYER:
Father,
We Are Instructed That If We Spent As Much Time
Giving Thanks To You As We Do Asking You For The Things
Which We Deem Necessary For Smooth Sailing In This Life
Things Would Go Better For Us!
Lord, I Yield
And With A Humble Heart
Knowing How Spiritually Bankrupt I Am
I Give You Thanks And Joyful Praise
And A Glorious Hallelujah!
Thank You For Your Sacrifice For Me That
Cost You Everything That You Possess
To Give Me Everything True That
I Could Ever Need In This Life For Abundant Living
And Then Life Everlasting!
I Thought About Giving You A "Thank You!" Gift
But Then I Realized That Nothing Man-Made Would Suffice
And So I Have Decided To Give You Me
Flawed, Foolish, Needy!
My Heart, Lord, Is Spotted With Sin!
My Eyes Are Cloudy With The Constant Look
At What Is Not Good!
My Ears Are Constantly Itching And Often Blocked
From Tuning In To The Radio Station Of
The Adversary Of Souls!
My Tongue Utters Praise And Prayers To You
And Then Heaps Curses Upon My Fellow-Man!
My Thoughts Are Regularly Murky, And Often Even Dark
And Most Assuredly Contrary To The Covenant Of Peace That
I Desire To Have With You!
My Hands, Lord, My Hands Are Those That Would Gladly, Even Gleefully
Work The Demise Of Those Who I Believe Have Offened Me
No Matter How Small
And My Feet, Lord, These Feet Have Not Always Been Shod To Deliver
The Gospel Of Truth, The Gospel Of Grace
But Have Been Quick To Run To Do Evil In Your Holy Sight!
Father, In The Name Of My Jesus
Your Only Begotten Son
The Door Through Whom I May Enter Your Holy House
... By Your Grace I Know That By My Faith Exercised
I Will Hold Fast Your Eternal Gift To Me And My Kind ...
Have Mercy On Me And Accept Me,
My Gift To You, Though Spotted, Torn, Tossed
Tested, Tried, Tormented, Thinking To Do Evil Continually
But Loving You With My Whole Heart
And Willing To Be Forgiven Of My Sins Which Are Many
And Cleansed From All Unrighteousness!
You Promised To Fix Me
And Fit Me To Enter The Gate
And Into The Glorious City By Right:
Please Keep Your Promise
And
By Your Sweet Spirit Who Is Leading Me Into All Truth
Help Me To Keep My Promise To Be Counted
Amongst The Faithful, The True, The Overcomers!
Of Myself, I Am Not Worthy To Come Into Your Presence
But You Told Me To Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace
To Obtain Mercy And Grace, Unmerited Favor
To Help Me In My Time Of Need!
Lord, I Need To Give You Me
So Please Keep Your Promise And Honor Your Call-Out To Me
And Help Me To Deliver My Gift To You Though Poor It Is Indeed!
Please Accept It, Father
For My Jesus, Your Beloved
Spilt A Drop Of His Blood, Innocent Indeed, Upon It!
I Love You: Please Help Me To Love You More!
I Need You: Please Help Me To Need You More!
I Thank You For The Blessings You Have
And Are, And Will Bestow Upon Me:
Bless Me To Thank You More
And Praise You More
And Pray More
And Uplift You More
So That My Light Will Shine Brighter
And My Salt Will Not Lose Its Savor, Its Taste,
That Blesses Me As I Bless Others In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!
Without The Master, My Savior, My Creator, My Redeemer
My Forever Friend Who Sticks Closer Than A Brother
My King To The End
And I Pray Never The Frowning Judge
I Give You My Free Will
And, In The Faith Of Jesus Which Cannot Fail
Ask You To Mark And Make The Way That
You Will That I Should Walk!
Help Me To Moment By Moment Walk With And Talk To
And Lean On, And Trust And Obey The Master
And Cooperate With The Holy Spirit!
Please Help Me To Allow Myself To Be Influenced By The Holy Angels
Who Are My Guardians Excelling In Strength!
I Beseech You To Help Me Not To Look Back At Those Things
Those Possessions
Or Persons That For My Jesus I Have Walked Away From
For I Remember Lot's Wife!
I Love You: Let My Love To You Show As I Grow In Grace
On My Walk To Your Glory!
Please Help Me Not To Make A Shipwreck Of My Faith
For It Is In Jesus' Name That I Pray And Plead!
I Place My Trembling Hand In Your Hand That
Is My Rock In This Weary Land Called Life!
AMEN!!!
